Bad Graphic Design Puns For Designer In-Jokes
Spending hours laboring over an InDesign template can feel like thankless work, especially when your team of oh-so-gifted writers don't understand the concept of a word limit. But at least while you're shedding bitter tears for butchered layouts, these design puns will give you something else to groan about.
The cards are the work of Sarah Heffernen, who compiled all the bad design puns — visual and otherwise — into this series of (beautifully laid-out) cards. Everyone who has ever set foot inside Photoshop should get the crop jokes, but some of the others may be a little more of a stretch. My favorites are below, or the full collection is over on Behance.
